Ferrocene and its derivatives, especially ferrocene-based coordination polymers (Fc-CPs), offer the benefits of high thermal stability, two stable redox states, fast electron transfer, and excellent charge/discharge efficiency, thus holding great promise for electrochemical applications. Herein, we describe the synthesis and electrochemical applications of Fc-CPs and reveal how the incorporation of ferrocene units into coordination polymers containing other metals results in unprecedented properties. Moreover, we discuss the usage of Fc-CPs in supercapacitors, batteries, and sensors as well as further applications of these polymers, for example in electrocatalysts, water purification systems, adsorption/storage systems.

In this study, an Al–AgO battery based on Al and Al–1Mg–1Zn–0.1Bi–0.02In (wt%) was prepared and the battery performance was investigated by a constant current discharge test in 4 M NaOH and 7 M KOH solutions.

A one-dimensional high-nucleus silver polymer (SSc: silver supercapacitor) was designed by a simple and single-step synthesis.
